Donald Trump is already convinced the CNBC GOP primary debate on Wednesday night will be stacked against him. Despite his long history with CNBC, having been featured in regular segments and flattering specials such as "CNBC Titans" and "Billionaire Inside," Trump told POLITICO and said in two tweets that he thinks the debate would not be fair. "No, I don't expect the debate to be fair," Trump told POLITICO on Monday. "After a great evening and packed auditorium in Iowa, I am now in Colorado looking forward to what I am sure will be a very unfair debate!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning, followed by ".@CNBC continues to report fictious poll numbers. Number one, based on every statistic, is Trump (by a wide margin). They just can't say it!" For their part, moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood have all pledged to be fair and give equal time to all the candidates.

he is right.
Liberal media, in a Dem state, in a liberal city, in a liberal college.
What idiot thought that these debates would be fair?
Know thy enemy !
All looking to take Trump down as he is the only one calling out how corrupt the media is while the other suck up to the media thinking they might be liked only to lose if they go against Clinton.
They can’t have their open borders challenged now can they.
Maybe he should tele conference it from his 757.
I would.
The purpose of this debate is to take down Trump and keep Cruz in the shadows.
Harwood is the one of the most biased dem operatives in the media. I watch CNBC a lot for years now when he is on I have to mute him. he is nothing but a hack for the democrats.
Duh!
I like Trump BUT NOBODY likes - or will vote for - a whiner.
Let Rick Santelli run the whole debate. I’d love it.
Especially a paranoid whiner...
But he always rises above it somehow.
He’s a fighter.
He isn’t whining - just stating facts. Look at the past 2 debates - food fights for the most part. I don’t think Trump means unfair to him, just that it will be biased. All the moderators are liberals - they only look to boost their ratings, ask gotcha questions and stir up a food fight.
He is whining but could that also be part of making America great again. Calling these guys out before the debate could just make them try harder to not be perceived as ganging up on one or two candidates. This media does need to be reigned in.
Let’s see how it goes tonight!
If Trump has this view, why in the world is he participating? He could boycott it and Tweet his opinions during the debate.
The thousand attendees at the “debate” are all there at the invitation of the Republican party. Arena seats 11,000.
i don’t call it whining. I call it just telling it like it is. The media is not a friend to Republicans. Well, not to conservatives anyway.
Look at the Democratic Debate against any Republican debate ( They even admit they want war and especially now they want Trump to be taken down, they know if Trump is gone , they can rid themselves of Dr. Carson in a week).
Then the GOPe can go back to what they want.
The thousand attendees at the “debate” are all there at the invitation of the Republican party. Arena seats 11,000.
I wonder if any of our top FR Trump-Haters will be in the crowd.
